Video: Al Franken reads out mean tweets about his Clinton support

Democratic Sen. Al Franken showed his support for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Thursday by appearing in a "mean tweets" video.

The former Saturday Night Live comedian and Minnesota senator has had plenty of feedback since tweeting his support for Clinton, and he responded to some them in an amusing video shared by the Clinton campaign on Thursday.

"Franken is plugged into the establishment matrix," one of them read, to which he responded: "Ok, that sounds painful, and it was, it was. It was part of the enhanced interrogation techniques they did during the Bush administration, thank god we stopped plugging people into the establishment matrix."
